Seaside hotel in North Holland

Would you like to stay with the sea within walking distance, but haven't decided which seaside resort yet? Then we warmly recommend Callantsoog. This charming coastal village lies at the foot of the North Holland dunes, and Hotel ’t Zwaantje sits right in the middle of it.

A hotel close to the beach in North Holland with all the liveliness of a village centre within easy reach: that combination is rarer than you might think.

What makes the North Holland coast so special?

Wide, clean beaches stretching for kilometres towards Groote Keeten and Den Helder
Dune areas with a character of their own, such as the protected Het Zwanenwater nature reserve
Plenty of space outside the high season: in spring and autumn you often have the beach almost to yourself
Beautiful sunsets over the North Sea, all year round
Bulb fields in spring in the surrounding region

Blowing away the cobwebs, walking and cycling along the coast

A stay by the sea calls for movement. From the hotel you can walk straight to the dune crossing to the beach. Cyclists will find a fine network of routes towards Groote Keeten, Sint Maartenszee, Petten, Schagen and Den Helder.

Why Callantsoog and not another seaside resort?

Callantsoog is big enough to be lively and small enough to stay peaceful. Here you will find:

a compact village centre with shops, a supermarket and places to eat and drink
beach access points within walking distance of the village
the Het Zwanenwater nature reserve right beside the village centre
good connections to Den Helder, Schagen and the ferry to Texel

And right in the middle of it is Hotel ’t Zwaantje: a 10-minute walk to the beach and the village centre.

By the sea all year round

The coast is not only appealing in summer. In autumn and winter a stay by the sea is especially lovely: bracing walks, watching the storms from the dunes and then back to a warm and welcoming hotel. Even in poorer weather there is plenty to do in and around Callantsoog, see our page Callantsoog in bad weather.
